The body of a 20-year-old BA LLB second-year student of a private university was found hanging in her hostel room in Malhaur, on Friday morning, police said.

“The deceased woman, a native of Mathura, had been residing in room number 308A since July 2024,” said a Lucknow police statement. “The police also recovered a suicide note from the spot which read ‘Sorry Mom, Dad, I am not a good daughter’,” police sources said.
“On Friday morning, two of her roommates kept knocking on the door at 8:20 am, following which assistant warden of the university’s hostel, Deepti Mishra, unlocked the door with the guard’s assistance and discovered the body of the student hanging with a dupatta tied to the room’s ceiling fan,” said DCP, East zone, Shashank Singh.
